Enjoy Life.

What a truly beautiful world we
live in! Nature gives us grandeur of
mountains, glens and oceans, and
thousands of means of enjoyment. We
can desire no better when in perfect
health; but how often do the majority
of people feel like giving it up disheart-
ened, discouraged and worn out with
disease, when there is no occasion for
this feeling, as every sufferer can
easily obtain satisfactory proof, that
Green's August Flower will make
/, them free from disease as when born.
Dyspepsia and liver complaint are the
direct causes of seventy-fve per cent
of such maladies as Biliousness, Indi-
gestion, Sick Headache, Costiveness
Nervous Prostration, Dizziness of the
Head, Palpitation of the Heart, and
other distressing symptoms. Three
deses of August Flower will prove it:
wonderful effect. Sample bottles, II
cents. Try it.

Don Dickinson, Of Detroit, who, re-
port says, has signified his willingness
to succeed Colonel Villas in the post
Office department, is a young man little
above forty, who has been most sue
cessful lawyer in Detroit. 1t is in a
great measure owing to his able and
honest management that the state that
gave Zach Chandler such rousing ma
jorities has been brought almost to the
Democratic line. With favOrite son
like Mr.. Dickinson in the cabinet, it is
likely that Michigan will once more be
found Democratic as in the days of
Lewis Cass.

An Eastern man who has been

country that has dust enough to blind

not the country for me-"
EWhat California wants is coal and
water. two of the greatest essentials

The news from Ireland becomes more
remarkable every day, and every week
seems to add a host of great English
men to the army of Home Rule. Lii
truth, with Ireland so splendidly united
upon that question, with Wales and
Scotland standing unite in favor of it,
and with, lastly; almost every member
of the Liberal party in England, active
ly engaged in Mr.. Gladstone's support.
the Tories present spectacle of blind
stubbornness and ignorance most re-
markable to behold. The Home Rule
movement it now the torrent that the
trained ear of the Alpine hunter hears
laundering in the distance, down the
narrow gorge of the mountain, and the
Tory is a foolish Switzer who stands in
the torrents path bidding defiance to
its wrath, and so mulish in his vanity
that he will not step aside until the
cataract sweeps him into death and OBJ
hvion.
But few years ago and Ireland's
struggle for Home Rule was the strug-
gle of the tenant farmer and the poor
man of the land. Soon it became
Charles Stuart Parnell's struggle, then
Grand Old Gladstone's struggle, and
now it is the struggle of every justice
loving and great-minded statesman in
Great Britain of every nationality, and
the entire civilized world gives its sup
port and encouragement to the battle.
We see an Irish nobleman barricading
his castle against the Tory bayonet, and
addressing National League through
a crevice. We see Ireland preparing
to welcome those great Englishmen,
Harrington and Goshen, by the great
est mass meeting Dublin has seen for
century. These are the signs the
watcher sees glimmering on the gray
skies. and who is there that cannot
forsee in them the coming sunburst of
the glory and splendor of poor old
Erin's freedom dawn?

The eccentricities CT the country
school committeeman" are many, and
have often been painted in glowing
colors. The following incident occurred
in Connecticut, and may be added to
those already known: A rich young
lady, tired of the do-nothing life of a
luxurious home, one winter decided to
teach school, both for pleasure of doing
something and earning some money Of
her own. She applied for the position
of teacher in district school, and her
acceptance depended upon the decision
of one man, who evidently thought she
too dainty for the place. This COM
mitteeman said to her after much de-
liberation: II know you've got book
farming and all that; but have you got
grit? Be you spunky ?' Il be-" re-

Funeral Of Mrs. Jane F. Keiser.

Yesterday afternoon, at her late res
idence, the impressive services OF the
Episcopal church, conducted by Rev.
w. D. Christian, were attended by a
large number of friends. The hand
some floral emblem was a gift from her
friends in st. Johns Guild, lin mem
ory of their first President"
The precious hymn, ASLEEP IN
Jesus the casket inscription, AT
rest" and tbs anchor of pure white
flowers were all In unison with the
peaceful face of the departed -anchored
safely in the harbor of Heaven.
The pall-bearers were A. E. Bishop,
John Gleissner, NJ. p. JOlley, Jacob
Korn, A. II. Paul and q. VIC. Rohrer'
IN MEMoRIAM.
Mrs. Jane Fleming keiser was born
in Lexington. Kentucky, April IL, 1910,
and spent the greater part OF her years
in that city. She passed through more
than the usual vicissitudes, even OF d
life that reaches beyond the aliotted
three score and ten. oearea amids'
the luXuries of the South in its 'Aiin'
days, knowing neither want nor care,
she afterwards experienced all the hor-
rors of war, that carried away hus-
band, home and fortune.
Her vigorous mind took an active in
lerest in politics, and being nearly re-
lated to such prominent statesmen as
James Buchanan and Simon Cameron,
and numbering among her intimate
social friends such families as the
Breckinridges, Becks, Crittendens.
Clays, Todds, and others, she enjoyed
all the advantages that such society
can confer. Previous to the war she
was a Wing and warm personal friend
of Henry Clay, but during the rebellion
she changed her opinions, and became
Breckenridge Democrat.
She came to Kansas in III, to spend
her remaining days with her only liv-
ing child, the late DR.. James F. Keiser,
who died in November, 'S3, and beside
whom she is now buried.
During her latter years. spent in
comparative seclusion, she loved to
draw from her ''mine of memories
and dwell upon the scenes of her varied
lifetime, from the memorable first ball
she attended, given in honor of Gen.
Lafayette, when he visited this coun-
try in "a, up to, and through the thrill
ling events of war times,
But her greatest comfort was found
ed on her religion. She was confirmed
many years ago by the late venerable
Bishop Smith, of Kentucky, and was
devoted church woman. When she
first came to Abilene she was an active
worker, and might have been called the
mother of st. Johns parish, being the
eldest member and watching tenderly
over its feeble infancy. But for several
years she had been a sufferer from a
fatal malady, and unable to attend the
services of her beloved church, yet, al
ways taking a keen interest in her
Masters work.
She was devotedly attached to her
sons family, especially to her grand
daughter, Theo, who had been her
favorite companion from infancy, and
she lived long enough to transfer her
to anotheI's keeping. Such is life !
$50 the multitude goes, like the flower or the
weed
That wifhers away 10 let others succeed;
And the smiles and the tears, and the song and
the dirge,
Still follow each other like surge upon surge.

A great mistake is made with regaro

A great mistake is made with regard
to ''do-nothings'' in the church. There
are no such persons. Those reputed to
be such are always busy in one of sew
eral ways: either practically undoing
what others have done, hindering them
from doing something, or finding fault
with what has been done or is going to
be done. This last is their favorlte
employment-their forte. There Is no
other so prompt, efficient, and univer-
sal grumbler, as general 'do-nothing. "

Now that the election is over, the po-
lice commissioners in Wichita have
met and resolved that it is their duty,
their conscientious and sworn duty to
open up vigorous war on the liquor
men. 1t is very likely that the new
crusade against the joints will be pro-
portioned in vigor to the disgust the
commissioners feel at the result OF the
late election that placed four Demo
Gratis in office in that county. Better
